So [Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands is abdicating the throne so that her son can take over, ](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22342870?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)and they had a whole big dinner celebrating it last night, while somewhere in England QE2 looks at herself in a mirror and laughs and laughs. "I'll *never* step down," she tells her reflection. "NEVER."

Let's look at some royal peoples and dignified (at least technically speaking) guests at the run-up to the actual abdication -- which I assume is followed by a coronation? Right? Or do they just high-five? -- which will have already happened by the time you're reading this, and which we will also cover today/tomorrow. Everyone seems very excited about the entire thing! There are a LOT of rich people jovially waving and wearing crowns. MANY of whom have secret scandals I just learned about on Wikipedia and shall now pass along to you. It's all quite thrilling.
